I am appalled !!! Since I own a Vorwerk vacuum cleaner .... cost 600Euro! Absorbs well no question. Only the eternal smuggling, he weighs sometimes loosely 7 Kg. And the tube always in the way and the cable anyway ... To my household has a dog. The happy Haart. On my staircase is a black carpet does not look nice with dog hair !! Since I am a clean man I suck every day. Who wants .. dog hair all over the apartment, so bought for a lot of money. A vacuum cleaner already described above ... the one at 7kg stairs suck drop on your foot do already hurt ... the price did hurt ... so browsing on Amazon I discovered then a Dyson vacuum cleaner ... Animal Pro battery Well, I thought ... if I win the lottery sometimes like ... won I did not. But what I had on, thinking if he is nothing ... he is sent back! So I ordered ... However, the need to continue to suck the idea the stairs with the 7Kg broom! Since the Dyson yes is only a battery vacuum cleaner ..... after 3 days he came in the mail ... when unpacking I thought oh god how much plastic ud it seemed to me like a child's toy ... could've just loaded it times ausprobiert..war you suck directly with los ... Sounds pleasantly quiet ... molested directly my dog with it ... and chased him from his Hundesofa..und behold ... in a short time was the dog sofa ... dog hair free ... no stupid Shlauch of a bother. No cable is too short, or that you can stumble ... I sucked directly the whole house ... after all ... 150sqm laminate and parquet floor rugs, the sofa .... everything ... even the stairs which I had not credited the sucker .... but lo and behold ... no tow Errei. Without Stolperei .... within 5 minutes! 20 carpeted steps absolutely dog hair free ...! Madness ... previously have IH for 70sqm suck determined 15 minutes needed ... including Treppe..heute 15 minutes of 150sqm ... wahnsinn..Das money is worth this high tech equipment all. I need because it saves me a lot of nerve ... Zeit..und 150sqm Vorwerk 45 minutes 150sqm .... With Dyson highest 20 minute suck not be easier ... others die off and go put gehts..kein extension cord and 7kg haul out of the house ud then get upset over the hose, ..... No easy Dyson from the charging unit to go into the garage and going legen..kommt everywhere and is easy ... no stupid bag should be changed ... you can filter the right with a flick of the finger empty ... I am annoyed that I did not very bought it earlier ... the 600 and more euros for the Vorwerk I could have saved me. The Dyson is a more than adequate substitute in my household. I use only the Dyson. And considering the Vorwerk for sale. Is merely bulky and big and heavy .. in the corner around, the Dyson fits with everything including charging station in my prima cleaning cupboard ... handy, small, light and easy to use a Super acquisition ...
